DeGeneres launches record label
By CMU Editorial | Published on Thursday 27 May 2010
Talk show host and ‘American Idol’ judge Ellen DeGeneres has announced that she is launching a record label. Called eleveneleven, her first signing is twelve year old YouTube sensation Greyson Chance, who wracked up 20 million hits on the website earlier this month with a video of him performing ‘Paparazzi’ by Lady Gaga at his school.
DeGeneres said in a statement that she was inspired to work with Chance, and launch a label in order to do so, after he appeared on her TV show two weeks ago. Madonna’s manager Guy Oseary and Lady Gaga’s manager Troy Carter have agreed to co-manage the young singer.
Another act Ellen has featured on her show are Irish family trio Crystal Swing. I really hope she signs them too: www.youtube.com/watch?v=QAsUfWvIiXY
